Brian and I got together for a full day (8-4) of fishing in my area on Saturday. We hit 6 spots from 2 on the Rockaway to Budd LAKE TO MUSCONETCONG lAKE to 2 more spots on the Black River (Lamington). Brian wanted a Redfin pickerel real bad. I just wanted to catch fish. We go Smallmouth, Largemouth, Pickerel, and Pike. Had a blast. I lost a huge Pike at the shoreline where it jumped and bit through the leader. The bass were small. But this very muscular Pickerel that Brian helped me land out of the weeds got my adrenaline flowing and put a hurting on my drag.
